Intimate work

New Zealand actress Kerry Fox generates massive buzz for her award-winning work in Patrice Chereau’s Intimacy, based on the metro-culture sex and angst stories of Hanif Kureishi. For Fox, the film was about “braving out a truthful portrait of a sexual relationship”, but was also “terrible to shoot”. The result is a  film that forms the English language van-guard of the “most urgent and relevant new European films”.
